A guy in an ICE truck was checking out my Cybertruck as we were at the front of the line at a red light Thursday morning driving my young daughter and friend to school in the Cybertruck. I thought he was admiring it, the way he was straining to look over his passenger seat at me. When the light changed I accelerated quickly as I always do when at the front of the line. I don't drive any faster than the rest of the traffic flow, I just get to that speed quicker. I merged over left one lane then left another into a turn lane. Nothing crazy and not cutting off any cars because they were all way back there. When he pulled up next to me now on my right side two intersections from where I left him he gave me the middle finger. At first, I thought it was because I accelerated quickly but as I thought back to it I have driven that way in my Model 3 for five years no one has flicked me off. I prefer not to be surrounded by other cars if I don't need to, given all the bad drivers, so that's one reason I do it. The other reason is in 5 years of driving a Tesla it has never gotten old. When we needed a score of 100% for FSD I was driving like a Grandma and after almost getting into an accident every day because of drivers just being bad drivers next to me, and good drivers getting annoyed with a grandma-like driver, I was so stressed I gave up on my FSD score and just drove regular for me. Anyway, maybe it was a combo of my acceleration and the Cybertruck or maybe it was just the Cybertruck but watch out for haters out there because haters gonna hate.

I saw my first middle finger yesterday. The person was in the left turn lane in the opposite direction and as I drove by they gave me the signal to tell me, "You're #1 !!!"

Thats just some truck morons... it's not aimed at Teslas. I have a late model F350 High Output Diesel. Its fast. Yesterday, some truck fool comes by me roaring his engine. It was a 2015 RAM Cummins... looking at me like he wanted to try to teach me something and race. I could have smoked him. But I didn't. I just rolled my eyes and let the fool go.

Remember, you don't need to flex on anyone, especially when you clearly have them smoked. Thats silent confidence. Just giggle and think "what a tool".

I've only gotten a negative reaction twice and both times were from the same person in my neighborhood giving me a thumbs down as I drove past. The second time the guy actually stopped in his lane to make sure I saw his displeasure haha. Everyone else loves it though.

You need to add the "Fart" sound to your horn, and then blast him

Ya I've tried to replace the horn with the fart but best I can tell you have to be in park to set it and can't save it and use it when driving.

Not exactly sure why some are so triggered by the CT, but most hide behind social media about it, so…whatever. All the people I meet in person LOVE it. Really enjoying all the people we are meeting because of Cybertruck.

I've said hi to neighbors for years who never replied. The first week I had the Cybertruck they all ran up to me introduced themselves and asked about the truck. I'm always happy to talk to them about it.

I never thought you could buy coolness but my daughters love when I take them to or pick them up from School in the Cybertruck bc of all the attention they end up getting in Elementry and Jr. High. I think that adults would scream out Cybertruck and jump up and down too if they didn't have their stay cool filters on.
